Janice Crowl. Kili and the Singing Tree Snails A children’s book that takes the reader back to the days when the Hawaiian Kingdom flourished and shows the importance of aloha and caring for the land and the native culture.

Dr. Ishmael Stagner. Kumu Hula, Roots and Branches Called the first comprehensive book on hula by a native Hawaiian and kumu hula, the book captures the sacredness and joy of Hawaiian hula.

Victoria Kneubuhl. Murder Leaves Its Mark

Set in the old Haleiwa Hotel, the book combines Hawaiians social history and an Agatha Christie crime novel. Kneubuhl will also bring Don’t Look Back: Hawaiian Myths Made New, a collection of 17 tales of old Hawaii edited by Christine Thomas.
